Pleasantly-Plump

I know it's been awhile since I posted. I wanted to start doing it again though, I know not many people view this but I still have a lot of fun writing this blog. I have been dieting the last few months and I have lost almost 50 pounds, I have a new found spark of confidence and I have been dressing up a lot more. Not that you have to lose weight to have confidence. Whatever size YOU want to be is beautiful.

November 12th was my husband's big 3-0 so this is what I wore out to dinner with him and my in-laws. I got the red dress on clearance at Torrid and actually only paid $9.46 because I also had a coupon for it, so not too shabby! The cardigan is also from Torrid and has a lace backing, the shoes are from payless and the tights are just Walmart.

With Thanksgiving being Thursday and me deciding to cook a 20pd turkey for four people, I had a LOT of leftovers, and I mean A LOT. So I have been trying to think up different ways to use up that turkey, so tonight I made turkey and potato croquettes!

I just took some left over turkey and left over cheese and bacon mashed potatoes and mixed them together and formed them into balls. I took those and rolled them in egg and then into a flour and panko mixture which I had seasoned with salt,pepper,onion and garlic powder and then I pan fried them in just a little of oil and DONE. It was really fast and pretty darn good, even the picky husband ate it!

I think I will be making gingerbread cookies this week too because the husband has been asking for them recently, I made a smaller batch of them a week ago but they all got eaten up.

As i've mentioned, not only am I plus size girl myself but I am an artist and I very much love to draw full figured characters. I won't share much of my art on here but here is one of my projects.

This drawing was inspired by Miss Piggy, one of my favorite characters of all times. I just thought it was a fun little image to draw. I drew it, inked it and than scanned it into PhotoShop for coloring.

I don't know how often I will be updating this site, I mainly made it just so I could be apart of the curvy community and talk to other curvy fashion bloggers. There isn't much to say really about me, i'm a wife and an art student and I love fashion :-)
